You can also hear and download Paul's Bossa Nova CD: Back to the Sun, which was released in December of 2007.

Though you'll find other kinds of music here, Bossa Nova is my true musical love. I just can't get enough of those wonderful songs. Learning to play them has opened up a whole new world for me as a guitarist and lyricist. I hope you enjoy my attempts at recreating them.

The hits keep coming... Seeing a high school rock band play this at a spaghetti dinner in about 1970 is what made me want to be a musician...

Thank you for the "beautiful" part... and don't even think about stopping the translations... you are too good! I think Chico Buarque, Jobim and others would be very pleased with what you did, and probably even ask to use your translations ...
Can't wait to hear your version of that song! Thank you for considering and for the quick reply! ;)
Beijos!

Hiii Paul ! I would sooooo like to hear you sing an english version of the song Pedaço de Mim, by Chico Buarque... I know it's not really Bossa Nova, but I think only you could really translate this song and make it as beautiful in English as it is in Portuguese... would you? Pleeeease??
